Family picnic cum trekking to Kadia dungar caves

Gujarat state has many lesser known places and Kadia dungar caves are one of them. Located near Zazpor village of Jhagadia taluka, can be easily reached from the Bharuch/Zankhvav/Mandavi city of Gujarat. These seven rock-cut caves are believed to be made from the single mountain (dungar). The best attraction of Kadia dungar caves are their monolithic lion pillars. The seven rock-cut caves at Kadia Dungar are assumed to be built around 1st century AD. These were erected during the time when Buddhism flourished in India. From their shapes, it can be told that they had been used as viharas during the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. GVTC members visited on 26/06/2017.

Nhavigadh : One day difficult trek on 05/02/2017..

Nhavigadh is a beautiful fort southwest of MANGI-TUNGI and TAMBOLYA in Baglan area of Nashik District (Maharashtra) and can be approached from Mani-Tungi village or directly from Mulher. It has fort walls and water tanks at the top. 

According to the beliefs, a royal barber cut throat of king on orders of The King's Uncle.. So it is called Nhavi(Barber) fort. Other name is Ratangad...

A strip climb with two narrow and vertical stairs, traverse walk on vertical slopes, passing a narrow ridge of 10-12 feet long and only 2-3 feet wide... A beautiful trek for enthusiast trekkers.... We were 17 enthusiast trekkers, out of this 15 completed this trek successfully. Two trekkers were satisfied till Saptashringi Mataji Temple... Really a must do trek.....

No drinking water or accommodation is available on the fort... Technical support is required to cross the last ridge to the top....
